Ladies of Hope

Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Ladies of Hope is A Non-profit organization based in Ennerdale South of Johannesburg. The charity has been established by Myrtle Williams back in the year 2000.

Please visit our website for more info www.ladiesofhope.co.za LOH was started over the past 18 years when a small group of interdenominational ladies who went around from house to house praying for the sick and the elderly. We eventually started assisting the sick with more than just prayer, that is where the Home base care work of LOH started, we have since grown 45 staff members who are currently working as volunteers, unfortunately the organization is unable to pay them a decent salary due to a lack of funds. Ladies of Hope is true care center where people of all ages, race, gender and religions can find someone to listen, support, counsel, guide, protect and provide various needs of people living within the community, our team consists of Social workers, Counsellors, Professional nurses, Recovery coaches, Field workers, Facilitators, Home Base care givers, Maintenance team, Gardeners, Drivers and Health and Safety Officers. The back bone of the organization is our Home Base Care unit where we currently have volunteers working with 250 of our beneficiaries on a daily basis. Because of the nature of our work, one of our priorities is to eventually become self-sustaining. This is so that we can in turn give more back to our community that before, and to send our caregivers to nursing colleges in order to better themselves and to provide them with more knowledge and skills. We hope to one day have a long-lasting impact in our community and hopefully nationwide. We plan to reach many more disadvantaged and underprivileged people in our community. Ladies of Hope is seen as a beacon of hope for the community especially to the children we run a feeding scheme for. The aspirations of the charity are to do so much in the community but because of a lack of finances we unable to do so.

🎀💗 BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH | OCTOBER

This October, Ladies of Hope stands with every woman affected by breast cancer — those currently facing it, those who have overcome it, those walking alongside a loved one, and the families whose lives have been changed by it.

Breast cancer can affect anyone. That is why awareness matters, early detection matters, and knowing your body matters.

Take time to pay attention to changes in your breasts, including:

A new lump or thickening
Changes in the size or shape of the breast
Changes in the skin, such as dimpling or redness
Changes in the ni**le, including inversion or unusual discharge
Persistent pain or swelling in the breast or armpit

Not every change means cancer, but any unusual change should be checked by a healthcare professional.

Early detection can make a significant difference.

At Ladies of Hope, we believe that caring for people means caring for the whole person — supporting women, families and communities through life's difficult seasons and creating spaces where people feel heard, supported and never alone.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let's go beyond wearing pink.

Know your body.
Know the signs.
Get checked.
Encourage the women you love to do the same.
Support those facing cancer with compassion, dignity and hope.

To every woman fighting, recovering, supporting someone she loves, or remembering someone she has lost:

You are not alone. 🌷

Let's create communities where awareness becomes action and where no woman is afraid to seek help.

Healthy women. Stronger families. Brighter communities.🧡💚💗

❤️TURNING SUPPORT INTO NOURISHMENT🛒

At Ladies of Hope, we know that bietjie, bietjie maak baie — and the R2,500 grocery voucher we received from Boxer is a beautiful example of just that.

With this support, our team was able to purchase essential groceries that will contribute towards nourishing the vulnerable children and adults we serve through our programmes.

From walking through the store, filling the trolley, and choosing the essentials, every item represents more than just food — it represents care, dignity and hope.

We are sincerely grateful to Boxer Superstores for supporting the work of Ladies of Hope and helping us continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you for helping us keep hope on the table.❤️

🌱 Bietjie, bietjie maak baie.

🧡💚REFLECTING, CONNECTING & LOOKING AHEAD — LADIES OF HOPE AGM 2026

This Wednesday, Ladies of Hope held our Annual General Meeting (AGM) — a special opportunity to reflect on the journey behind us, celebrate the work accomplished, and look ahead to the future.

This year, we were honoured to welcome not only our Board and team, but also local stakeholders and members of our community who joined us for this important occasion.

Their presence reminded us that the work we do is not done in isolation. It is built through relationships, collaboration and a shared commitment to the communities we serve. 🤝🏽

We reflected on the impact of the past year, the challenges we have navigated, the lives we have touched and the opportunities that lie ahead.

We were also delighted to welcome our newest Board Member, Dr Sauls, to the Ladies of Hope family. 🧡💚

We look forward to the experience, knowledge and perspective Dr Souls will bring as we continue strengthening our organisation and our impact.

An AGM is more than a meeting. It is a moment to pause, reflect, account, connect and recommit to the work ahead.

To our Board, staff, volunteers, stakeholders, community members, partners and supporters — thank you for being part of the Ladies of Hope journey.

Together, we continue to show that when people come together with purpose, hope becomes action.

Every heart has a story. Every story inspires hope.🧡💚

💜ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

How many more women must we lose before we refuse to accept this as normal?

The recent killings of women in and around Ekurhuleni have once again forced us to confront a reality that women across South Africa know all too well — the fear of becoming the next name, the next face, the next family left grieving.

Police are investigating the deaths of seven women, with specialised teams examining possible links between the cases. While the circumstances remain under investigation, one thing is already clear:

We cannot become numb.

We cannot scroll past another headline.
We cannot hear another woman has been killed and simply move on.
We cannot allow fear to become part of what women are expected to live with.

💜 Remember the women we have lost.
💜 Stand with the women who are still here.
💜 Believe survivors.
💜 Speak up when you see violence or abuse.
💜 Teach our children that violence is never acceptable.
💜 Challenge the attitudes that normalise violence against women.
💜 Protect women and girls.
💜 Demand accountability.

GBV is not only a “women's issue.”

It is a societal issue.

Men must speak to men.
Parents must educate children.
Communities must stop protecting perpetrators.
Institutions must respond.
And all of us must refuse to look away.

A safer South Africa will not happen because we posted about it. It will happen because we decide to do something about it.

Remember the women we have lost.
Fight for the women who are still here.
Protect the girls who will become the women of tomorrow.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

💜Speak up. Stand together. Take action. End GBV.

⚽️A VISIT THAT REMINDS US THAT EVERY CHAPTER CAN CHANGE.🧡💚

Ladies of Hope had the privilege of welcoming Junaid Hartley to our organisation.

Junaid’s journey is one of resilience, challenges, courage and ultimately, choosing to rebuild. From reaching the heights of professional football and representing South Africa, to facing some of life’s most difficult chapters, his story is a powerful reminder that where you are today does not have to determine where you will be tomorrow.

His visit gave us an opportunity to engage, share experiences and reflect on the importance of second chances, making different choices and never giving up on the possibility of a better tomorrow.

We are grateful to Junaid for spending time with us and for being willing to share his experiences and lessons with others. Stories like his remind us why conversations about hope, resilience, recovery and purpose matter.

At Ladies of Hope, we believe that every heart has a story. Every story inspires hope.🧡💚

Thank you, Junaid, for visiting us and sharing a part of your journey.

Here’s to new chapters, new beginnings and the courage to keep moving forward.🙏🏽✨

WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY | 10 SEPTEMBER💚🧡

Today, we pause. We remember. We listen. And we choose hope.

World Su***de Prevention Day is a reminder that behind every smile, every silence and every “I’m okay” can be a story we may not know.

At Ladies of Hope, this day carries a particularly deep meaning. We have experienced the heartbreak of losing one of our very own to su***de. Their absence is felt, their life is remembered, and their story remains part of ours. ❤️

That is why today is not simply about awareness. It is about starting conversations, listening without judgement, reaching out and reminding one another that no one should have to face their darkest moments alone.

Sometimes, a simple question can matter:

“How are you really doing?”

Sometimes, listening is the first step towards hope.

And sometimes, simply knowing that someone cares can make all the difference.

Today we remember those we have lost.
We stand alongside those who are struggling.
We encourage conversations that may save a life.
And we remind our communities:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.❤️

At Ladies of Hope, our counsellors and support programmes are available to assist and provide a safe space for those who need someone to talk to and walk alongside them.

Let us choose compassion over judgement.
Connection over silence.
Hope over despair.

🧡Every heart has a story. Every story inspires hope.💚
